5 causes and effects

 

Causes:

1. Italy becomes more a aggressive country. Mussolini invades Ethiopia and the Italian army becomes much stronger

 

2. The United States cuts off supplies to Japan. Because of this Japan becomes angry and  attacks Pearl Harbor .

3. Because Hitler hated Jews he persecuted them in many Nazi concentration camps.

4. Hitler creates his Nazi party and believes strongly in the white Aryan race be superior.

5. Hitler broke the Versailles Treaty and created a much bigger army than the German army before.

Effects:

1. A lot of important people were killed during this war such as doctors who could have found cures for many diseases if they were still alive.

2. Japan attacks Pearl Harbor and brings the U.S into the war. This  was a big mistake because the U.S forces were stronger.  

3. Many countries had a hard time rebuilding after the war and did not have the funds to do so. Also some never got the chance to rebuild because of the Cold War started right after.

4. Many of the countries that were involved in the fighting need supplies and would get them from the places near by and also take many natural resources.

5. The Atomic bomb was dropped which help lead to the end of the war. It also killed thousands of Japanese people, which led to the discussion weather or not we should have dropped the bomb.
